God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time. Enjoying one moment at a time. Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace. Taking as He did this sinful world as it is, not as I would have...
Brief update: We're just through the "Days of Awe," which is what one of our old prayer books calls the period from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur. 5769, if you're buying calendars. Days of devout prayer, trying to absolve sins. Rabbi Mike took the occasion to remind us that our synagogue is retiring...
1. Andy Shorter, my childhood friend, died last week of a brain aneurysm, leaving his mother to bear the burden of life on her own, only months after her husband and his father left them both for the siren song of a love affair. Andy was one of my first and only friends when my family first moved us...
John 15:1 through John 15:17 (NIV) 1“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you....
This past weekend I had the opportunity to be a part of something that God truly used to really do an amazing work in my life. The Mallary Baptist Association, which is the association that our church is located in, hosted a prayer conference on Saturday morning and a prayer rally on Sunday night....
Working for the government, you'd think you wouldn't be subjected to this kind of thing so blatantly. It enrages My Jew and I to no end to see this stuff posted up on PUBLIC bulletin boards in plain view around the cubicle farm. The left "prayer" is what was posted up on a "work" bulletin board. The...
Read Psalm 3 Thank You, O LORD, that You are a shield for me, My glory and the one who lifts up my head. I lay down and slept; I awoke, for You sustained me. I will not be afraid for You have promised to hear when we pray.
Today, I woke up at 6:15 and had some realizations. First, I know that my 2 yo, J, only gives me 15 minutes before he wakes up. Today, I used those minutes for a good thing. I took my Liturgy of the Hours book with me to the bathroom and I said Morning prayers. On the last prayer, J woke up. I went...

Read Psalm 1 My delight is in your Word as I meditate on it. Let me be like the tree planted by water. May I yield fruit in Your time and season and not whither and grow dry. Bless my efforts and make them prosper. Thank you that you are watching over me.
This entry is partially inspired by yet another conversation with my sister and largely inspired by a few YouTube videos. Prayer is the primary if not only medium through which most theists communicate with God. Many will even contend that God answers all prayers. This sounds great, but when prayers...
Have you responded to the voice of God in your life? Many people run from God because they don't think they need Him. The problem is that is far from the truth. In a world filled with sin, we all have fallen short, and the emphasis is on the word fallen. Sin is what we love, but the price for it is...
Today I did not go swimming. The water was a little choppier than yesterday at the beach here in Mokule`ia. I did sit on the edge of the beach, where I would catch the last of a wave before it pirouetted and danced back out to sea. It's amazing sitting at sea level, at the level of the ocean's...
My sister-in-law's mom is in the hospital and they are scared she won't make it. She has prior health issues, now her lung is collapsed and she has pneumonia. Please pray for her and her family. Baby Jemma is doing better, though. She had surgery on Wednesday and it looks better for her than it has...
Im finding that I seem to be able to focus on things better when I write them down. Like, normally I pray in my head mentally. But my mind usually ends up wandering so far off subject, sometimes I never even find my way back to the prayer again. So I decided to start writing out my prayers, that way...
Prayer Psalm 116:2 “Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.” Have a regular routine of prayer. You need the discipline of regularity to make possible those exceptional times of free communication with God. Keep on praying whether it feels like you...
reflections from ODB "Showing Up" & the passage for today The really great thing about the devotions from Our Daily Bread is that it breaks it's meaning down in reference to understanding God, Jesus Christ, how to communicate with him that a child can understand. This morning devotion [Showing Up]...
[59] TAKE A SWORD Read: Luke 22: 35–53 He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. Luke 22:36 NIV * * * It has been obvious up to this point that everything the Lord did had a purpose and was part of His...
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. - Hebrews 13:15-16 Praise is not something that I remember to do everyday. I'm...
